PULSE v1.92

Changes in this release

Changes to XML format:

• Added HEAT_LOSS_COMBINED and COMBINED_ABSORPTIVITY
• Added <excludes> tag for excluding superfluous optimisation flags
• Increased Biot maximal value to 100.0
• Changed autoAdjustable boolean to visibleByDefault for easier interpretation
• Changed default gradient resolution to 1E-6 (optimiser)

Changes to 2D Problem Statement:

• Added support for HEAT_LOSS_COMBINED
• Biot number: transform changed from ATANH to ABS
  (atanh caused problems during optimisation resulting in NaNs)
• Problem.java now has hideDetails set to true

Changes to property accessors and Penetration problem statement:

• Added support for COMBINED_ABSORPTIVITY in PenetrationProblem.java
• Absorptivity: Replaced ATANH transform with ABS
  (atanh caused problems during optimisation resulting in NaNs)
• Added firePropertyChanged call after each valid change to an InstanceDescriptor
  or DiscreteSelector
• Added missing call to super-constructor from Insulator.java

Changes to handling Flags

• Added support to exclude lists that can be used to arrange the optimisation vector correctly
• Fixed wrong filtering of flags, which should not depend on property
  visibility
• Introduced keywords for combined heat losses and absorptivities

Optimiser changes

• LMOptimiser.java: Fixed wrongly accepting a set of new parameters
  when the cost changes are minimal

General changes:

• Formatting
• Added more details to SolverException when being thrown
• Introduced support for the new XML format in the XMLConverter.java
• Fixed wrong display criterion for numericData()
• Correlation test: added an exclusion rule for the pair MAXTEMP-- HEAT_LOSS_COMBINED
• Added support for non-string objects in attemptUpdate()

UI Changes:

• Removed wrong foreground in KeywordListRenderer
• Added ActiveFlagsListModel (previously ResultListModel) -> can now
  be used in both ResultFormatDialog and SearchOptionsFrame
• Prevents Flags from being displayed in PropertyHolderTables.
  The list of checkboxes is now removed from SearchOptionsFrame
• Optimiser Flag selection now occurs through the use of a DoubleListPanel
• Changed PopupMenuListener to PopupMenuAdapter
